Plastic Film

Lehigh collects and recycles plastic film. Lehigh University partners with Giant Food Stores and the Trex Company to recycle plastic film generated on Lehigh's campuses. The plastic film that is collected is recycled by Trex and turned into alternative lumber, decking, and furniture. Plastic film must be collected separately from Lehigh’s single stream recycling system. If plastic film is placed in the blue single stream recycling bins, it will cause expensive and inconvenient machine clogging at the recycling facility. For this reason, all plastic film must be collected and recycled separately. Plastic film must be clean, dry, and free of food residue to be recycled. If your plastic film does not meet this criteria, please place it in the trash bin.
